Freeways that end at at-grade interchanges with cross freeways

CA 78 at I-5

Wade Ave. at I-440 in Raleigh.

What's the deal with this one? Based on satellite imagery, it looks like this used to be a full cloverleaf, but they ripped out the NB-to-WB loop ramp in favor of a signalized left turn.

What about US 22 & 30 at I-376.  Where US 22 & 30 are both freeway on and off the interstate there is a traffic signal that the WB US 22 & 30 motorists passes through when leaving I-376 west to take the independent freeway westward toward Ohio (and beyond for US 30).

For the second one isn't that in Elk Mound instead of Roberts?

Yea, brainfart.

Do volleyball's count?  Considering that under I-476 US 1 is still free moving it really is a freeway there until after the interchange.

Though technically us 1 transforms from freeway to arterial at that point, there are no lights or at grades within the line of travel through it.  Plus I-476 was built after US 1, and it was by coincidence that the Blue Route happened to interchange where the US 1 at grade part transformed into the Media Bypass Freeway.

IA 100 and I-380 in Cedar Rapids, IA, but only if you choose to count volleyballs (I don't).

It was a full cloverleaf. I used to use that interchange almost every day. I don't remember precisely when or why it was changed, other than it was after 1996, but I seem to recall it had something to do with widening the Beltline north of there. Maybe they didn't want the traffic exiting from the Inner Beltline* to westbound Wade Avenue crossing what was now to be a thru lane.

*In Raleigh they refer to the "Inner Beltline" (clockwise) and "Outer Beltline" (anti-clockwise) instead of the "Inner Loop" and "Outer Loop"; they instead use "Outer Loop" to refer to I-/NC-540, which elsewhere might have been referred to as the "Outer Beltline" because it's to be a second orbital when completed.

Missouri does this a few times:

Full freeways
* MO 152's western end at I-435
* MO 249's northern end at I-49
* MO 465's northern end at US 65

Freeway segments
* East end of the freeway segment of MO 210 at I-435
* South end of the freeway segment of MO 179 at US 54.  If the signal at Edgewood Drive ever gets replaced with an interchange, there would be another one for MO 179 at US 50
* North end of the freeway segment of MO 141 at MO 364
* North end of the freeway segment of MO 141 at US 40
* South end of the freeway segment of MO 79 at I-70

In Indiana there's the western end of the Sam Jones Expressway at I-465/I-74 since INDOT downgraded that interchange

Ok that's what I thought because I was looking around Roberts because I've been there before and couldn't find it lol.

A few more PA examples:

US 11/15 at PA 581 near Camp Hill. As with the PA 66 example, it's another site of a former full cloverleaf that was subsequently modified to require left turns.

Along the same lines, I also thought of PA 61 at I-78 near Hamburg (a former full cloverleaf), but even though PA 61 is grade separated and access controlled for a mile through Hamburg, it would be a stretch to call it a freeway.

Now that the US 220 super two has been fully grade separated from Mill Hall to I-80, its diamond interchange with I-80 arguably qualifies. This interchange has always puzzled me, though: It seems clear that PennDOT intended to eventually extend the Susquehanna Beltway from its current end at PA 477 to I-80, yet they built a compact diamond at I-80 with no obvious path to upgrade to a full freeway-freeway interchange. In contrast, at the eastern end of the Susquehanna Beltway (I-180/PA 147), the PDH originally opened I-80's interchange with old PA 147 as a very wide diamond using the same grading and overpass bridge that would eventually be used for the eight-ramp cloverleaf. Then when PA 147 was upgraded to a freeway, the four inner loop ramps were constructed, the outer ramps' left turn lanes were severed, and the result was a full non-stop interchange.

And I don't think it's been mentioned yet, but once the US 219 freeway is completed into Maryland, wouldn't the at-grade roundabouts at the I-68 interchange qualify?

East end of one part of the US-30 freeway in Ohio.  This particular section ends at a six ramp parclo at I-71 in Mansfield.

US 169 at US 14 (technicality)

Not with two traffic signals south of 14 before you even get to the interchange...

US 14 at US 52/63

MnDOT classifies 14 as expressway, not freeway, despite the interchange at West Circle.

US 63/MN 30 at I-90 (technicality)

Not a freeway and with multiple at-grades between 48th and I-90.

US 10/61 at I-90/US 12 (technicality)

How?  There are multiple traffic signals between 494 and 94, including two fairly close to 94.

MN 101 at I-94

Southbound only.  And even then, there's a signal at Diamond Lake Rd before one gets to 94.

(Your other Minnesota examples, though, are legit.)


Another example not mentioned yet:  MS 7 at US 278/MS 6 in Oxford.

Which is why I marked these as technicalities.

A-20/A-520

There was some plans to upgrade that interchange but only the ramps going from Dorval airport to eastbound A-20 and westbound A-20 to Dorval Airport are made.

I wouldn't even call them technicalities.  I thought the OP was pretty clear that he was looking for freeways that end at at-grade ramps at the intersecting freeway.  Most of the MN possibles fall short of that.

[hbelkins]

The freeway portion of TN 111 has a standard diamond interchange with I-40 at Cookeville.

[vdeane]

I-99 has a couple at-grades before I-80, so it technically doesn't count.

[roadman65]

US 69 near Kansas City in Kansas.  Between I-35 and I-70 its a freeway and on the I-35 end its a diamond with traffic lights.

[hbelkins]

How about US 52 at I-90 in Minnesota. Maps show it as a freeway north of the interstate but it's not a full freeway-to-freeway interchange.

[webny99]

How about US 52 at I-90 in Minnesota. Maps show it as a freeway north of the interstate but it's not a full freeway-to-freeway interchange.

Considering it is a full freeway until southbound US 52 traffic headed for I-90 encounters an at-grade, I think it counts. The Rochester MN area in general seems to be full of contenders (or almost-contenders).

Someone else mentioned it upthread, too.

[US 89]

Two more I just thought of: UT 7 at I-15, and NM 423 at I-25. IIRC, the Paseo del Norte and I-25 interchange was going to be a full freeway interchange, but NM ran out of money.

Toll 49 at I-20 near Tyler, TX

Chisholm Trail Toll at US 67 in Cleburne, TX appears to be one, but I can't completely tell.

The southern mile of Chisholm Trail Parkway is a freeway (for miles north of there it's a "two-lane freeway," which is something I don't believe in), that narrows into a two-lane road that ends at the US 67 freeway frontage road.  There's one at-grade intersection with a county road about 250 feet before the frontage road.  (I think CTP technically ends at that intersection and the rest of the way to the frontage road is the county road, which pre-dates the toll road, but is maintained by TxDOT because it's within the right-of-way of the freeway.)  Because it has two lanes and an intersection, I don't think it fits this category, but it's close.  Eventually, it will be expanded to a four-lane divided highway.  Whether the planned direct connectors to US 67 are built at the same time will determine whether it fits this category at all.

Since I don't believe in two-lane freeways, I won't disagree with the Toll 49 example but will say that it depends on your definition of "freeway."

NJ 15 ends at US 206 at grade. Both of them have freeway segments, but neither is a freeway at the terminus.
